Page 9 - Final Noosa Cycling and Walking Strategy and Implementation Plan 2020 - 2040
P. 9
Background
The NCWSIP presents the vision, objectives, strategies and
actions for increasing bike riding and walking in Noosa over
the next 20 years (to 2040). It updates the Noosa Cycling
and Walking Strategy 2004-2016.
The strategy will guide Noosa Council’s (Council) planning,
development and promotion of its bike riding and walking
networks in the future. The plan covers both the active
transport network for those commuting by bike or foot and
connections to the bushland trail network for those wanting
to enjoy the great outdoors.
"It's about getting people
out of cars, onto bikes,
onto footpaths and getting
to where we need to go in
a safe and enjoyable way."
Councillor Brian Stockwell
Strategy alignment
Community feedback and adoption of Council’s strategy
documents, demonstrate a strong agenda for sustainable
transport outcomes, to reduce dependency on private
motor vehicles, and increase bike riding, walking and public
transport use. Increased community participation in bike
riding and walking activities support the objectives of the
following Council strategies.
